Ben Lomond for the EXTREMELY unfit!

Date walked: 07/10/2017

Time taken: 4.5 hours

Distance: 15.6km

I climbed my first munro on Saturday, Ben Lomond! I knew I was unfit but this really showed me quite how bad I was! Luckily the weather was fine, few light showers but not much more. I went all layered up but was roasting hot within 10 minutes! Lesson learned there - keep the layers in your bag until you feel you need them. I was surprised at how many parts you did have to 'climb' and couldn't believe people were actually running up it! Couldn't see a thing from the top but we really didn't care, we were just glad to be at the summit! Mountain rescue were there also helping someone that had fallen right on the summit. I'm not surprised as it was really quite slippy. So did I enjoy it at the time? Not so sure. Am I glad I done it? 100% :D :D :D
